Most Embarrasing Brush with Greatness Lou Gramm called me on the phone to offer some advice before I went to Japan and I thought it was a prank call so I hung up on him. Thank God he called back!!

First Concert The heaviest, loudest, most rockin' band ever!!! AIR SUPPLY at Darien Lake when I was about 10. It was my Mom's favorite band at the time.

Gear Shoreline Gold Fender Stratocaster with John Suhr v-60 low peak single coil pickups (the best ever!!) and a Tom Anderson H2+ Humbucker. It also has an L.R. Baggs x-bridge which makes my strat sound like an acoustic. I love it! I plug into a Boss tuner, Vox wah wah pedal, and into the most versatile amp I've ever owned, the Vox Valvetronix AD120. I've tried almost everything and this amp by far my favorite! For keyboard sounds and samples I use a Kurzweil K2000. Another favorite!

Shoe Size 9

Favorite Movies Godfather, Usual Suspects, 8 mile, Coming To America, anything with Kevin Spacey and Spinal Tap

When I'm Not Playing with Uncle Plum I'm... Golfing (I'm addicted), selling real estate for Remax First, playing soccer, writing and recording music, and spending time with my family

Other Bands I've Played With East Coast Connection
